Why don’t you half wits watch the whole video before you respond. He is just having fun here, he actually likes the tractor.
how do i get the hood up on my kubota b2650
Stop, just stop. Get out of here with your voice of reason!!!
Actually a pretty good review of the tractor. Minor stuff but new tractor shoppers need useful info like this. Thanks for making the video. Entertaining and helpful. Nice tractor bro. Be safe.
thanks, at 1 year of ownership now and very happy with the tractor
The tires are to bouncey, it only comes in orange and it clashes with my skin tone, and it just keeps running and running until I get tired......
Don Young z thanks for the laughs...
Loved it . Some of the guys did not get the message you tried to send. Very funny
Matt - I had same issue with mounting the tractor, scratches & scuffs. I bought some door edge tape for cars, and cut it to fit. Works great!
For your exhaust problem. To solve that just go to Lowe’s or Home Depot, buy either a 45 or 90 degree brass elbow, about six dollars, the elbow will fit tightly in the end of your existing exhaust pipe without clamping it. Problem solved without restricting your exhaust flow. I have a b2601, same exhaust set up.
I purchased a 2650 back in 2015 with a cab. After approximately 5 hours on the machine, the machine tipped onto its side. Great machine, but with the cab it's top heavy. When my current machine is paid off I'll be upgrading to a larger unit that has the types of wheels that wheel weights can be bolted to the rims for greater stability.
hello, i've had that same tippy feeling on this non cab model also a fue times i've read a lot about spacers and filling the tires or even switching over to the larger b3350 tires to help with the issue. I have mostly flat land and just take my time.
I have the B2650 with cab and LA534 loader, I'll have to agree with the light problem, I just replaced the top cab lights front and rear with LED lights and fixed that problem. I still have the exhaust problem, but planning on doing the 90 elbow. I have a rear weight box with some weight and the rear tires are loaded. My 3 point hitch has a lever on each arm that lets you extend the arms several inches to hook up your implement. And a minor gripe is the fuel filler could be relocated to a better position. Haven't noticed any problem with the parking brake, but will watch more closely.
Thanks for this one, Matt. Have over 200 hours on my B2650 and we really work it skidding logs, hauling splits with a pallet-box on qd forks, moving logs (9 footers and 54 inchers) with an EA grapple, mowing hay w/5' 'hog, digging w/the bucket, and most everything else around this old place. (Not sure where my wheelbarrow is since buying this tractor!)
Looks like it's not too hilly where you are, but I've had an issue since day one up here in the mountains of northern PA that's gonna kill someone, and it's only a matter of time. I've written Kubota, told my dealer abt it, but no bulletins issued yet: DO NOT TRUST THE PARKING BRAKE ON HILLS. EVER. I carry a pair of home-made chocks for the back wheels, and block them whenever parked where it's any kind of steep (which is most of my acreage). I like almost everything else abt this little tractor, but that parking brake will "get" you. Set it on a hill and turn your back on it, and when you hear a "pop" I hope you're out of the way. Darned thing lets go at the worst times. Have a friend with the B2601 and his is the same. Dangerous, especially considering that with the HST tranny, that cheap little stamped piece of steel is all that's holding the machine in place.
Thanks again, and be careful out there!
Thanks for the info, I'm pretty lucky 5 acres that's nearly flat in my 120hrs of ownership maybe used the brake a dozen times. Ill pay attention to that now.
dealer told me the flex was because the floor is rubber mounted to accommodate for the full cab installation.
I bought the T2290 Kubota
last year and it's been a great mower.
It’s a great machine I did this just for fun
I'm curious how do you like the treadle pedal does it make your leg tired after going forward and into reverse over a long period of time of use. I currently have a John Deere 2032r I've been looking at the Kubota Tractors but I'm not a big fan of the treadle pedal my tractor has two separate petals 1 for forward 1 for reverse.
Troy Williams I actually really like it most of the time my heal is off it using like a gas pedal and then occasionally I pick up my foot and move back for reverse. But for detailed work I rest my foot in the middle so I can rock it Foward-reverse and it works out well, I’m so used to all the tractor controls now I don’t even need to think about what to do.
Nice video! Thanks.
Is there a problem with the top link on the 3 pt hitting the tractor when raised to full height and bending the tool box support?
hello, I was using a brush hog mower the first time it had 2 different points to hook up for the lower arms and when I razed it up the for the first time when on the tractor. The top link hit the center bar, I have a video of it when it happened posted. Just a first time tractor lesson check to see if 3pt attachment hits anything before using.
Thanks, I will remember that as good advice on anything new on 3pt hitch, on any tractor.
Been using my brother's B2650 for about 2 weeks cleaning up after Hurricane Sally did her thing here on the Alabama Gulf Coast. So far I'm impressed; agree refueling is a PITA, but other than that my only gripes are I hate the treadle, would much rather have 2 separate pedals. And on day one of using it the friggin treadle center switch decided to act up as I was traversing a mud hole. Had to shut it off a speak to someone and it wouldn't restart. Googled it and talked to my brother on the phone and it only took a blast of WD-40 to loosen up the actuator in the switch, but lying in the mud to get it done was a bit of a shit show. A little research shows those switches are notorious for doing that, hopefully they've fixed them by now. (Tractor is a 2014 with about 530 hrs on it.)
Other than those few minor things I'm considering buying one; engine and hydraulics are strong, the machine seems well built, it sips fuel (which is a huge plus post-hurricane when open gas stations are few and far between and lines for the pumps can be a mile or longer), the diff lock & 4wd rock, it has great, easy to use hand controls, it's nice & heavy for its size, and looks to be easy to work on. Comparing it to the Kioti CK2610 HST, haven't made up my mind yet but will pull the trigger on one or the other soon as I have to give my brother his machine back in a week or so. But in any case this Kubota is a good, strong machine any way you look at it and you can't go wrong buying one.
Reminds me of the reasons I hate my Tacoma:
1) I keep going into 4H instead of turning down the AC.
2) The roof is too low for a tall guy.
3) If I drive too fast in the pasture, things fall out of the cup holder.
4) Neighbors call me to pull their tractors out of the mud.
5) I can't justify driving my track car to the store anymore, because it costs less to tow the car with the Tacoma.
Time to get a ford
Matt, I had the same issue with the exhaust on my Kubota. This is a easy fix; just go to an exhaust shop and have them bend you a 1-1/2" 90 degree elbow, about 6" long on both ends. Push it on and play with the angle, you will need to cut the pipe in order to point the elbow between the loader in the down position and the front tire. This works perfect. No need to clamp the elbow, it stay on with no problem. Send me your email, and I will send you a picture of mine to give you an idea as to what the finish product will look like.
I agree with the lighting, I have a 2650 cab model and just mounted an LED light bar between the the cab lights for better visibility, replaced the factory headlights with LEDs as well, can see better at night than in the day now.
sounds great i'm trying to decide what to do i've seen then mounted on the rops bar but i'm putting it up and down for use and for storage so i'm not quite sure where mount any yet i'm sue ill figure some thing out as the season starts to change because ill need lighting.
the dealer probbly fix it for ya because its under a 6 year warranty
At firsrt I was going to be like what is wrong with this dude then I watched the whole thing and I see how funny he was actually being. Nice video dude.
Thanks i did this to be goofy get some attention and have fun..
Matt's need for speed
I have been looking at getting a Kubota or John Deere for awhile now - Question I have is does the brake pedal seem odd to use ? It looks as if Kubota makes there's straight up.
Dave S it’s not really odd. I can say, I very really use it actually unless I’m setting the parking brake. I did separate it and played with it trying to make tight turns.
Also the ROPS banging all the time! Lol
I have a fix for the ROPS rattle czcams.com/video/BaIgDyQuACE/video.html
Very difficult to find a "real" problem with these things I've got 250 hours on my B2920 and it's basically just the stuff you mentioned in the beginning the paint, exhaust, grease...other than that the thing is awesome I've moved some stuff with it that it probably shouldn't have been able to move. Good video man
Craig's Channel definitely a great machine I’m getting ready to do my 200hr service in the next few days looking Foward to many years of enjoyment with it.
What kind of mpg does she get on the highway, and do you have to wear goggles at 70 mph :)
RE- Fueling: try using a funnel with screen and rest your diesel fuel container on the steering wheel use a rag to cover underneath. works for me B7800
Generally speaking I would tend to agree with your list. But I personally bought this to frigging WORK.And the first 3 hours? I had already broken out the radiator cover. My List. 1. The damn grill should be metal. 2. The wheel is a little flimsy. 3. The stupid ROPS bar.. When all the way down? Actually WILL bend your top 3pt bar when you bring it all the way up. 4... And this one is seriously pissing me off. I have the LA 534 loader. I grease every 10 like your supposed to. But the bottom right pin on the bucket keeps creeping out. Every 20 min or so I have to get off and hammer it back in.
Now about the pathetic lighting situation? And the ROPS? I have found that having the ROPS exactly as you have it now? The bolt holes are PERFECT for some fancy LED lights. Best part? You got friggin battery direct power just sitting there to the right (while in your seat) just behind the seat! Auger out one of them holes next to the ROPS on the fender? Plant a sexy aircraft gunner cover switch?? Throw some wires around?? It is #EPIC. (Clear until you need to turn around and look where your going backwards.. Cuz then .. Like me.. Your going to regret the 300,000,000 Mil Candle Watt Power LEDs that just fried your retina for the 6th time in one evening. ) Other than that? It is a game changer.
Now for the serious side again. The HST pedal sometimes will not go back to zero and thus sometimes reports that I am in drive and will not let me start the tractor. Same is true with the under the seat switch. I have a new routine.. A double hop in the seat while I tap my toes on the HST pedal 2 or 3 times before I hit the key. (And you thought YOUR tractor dance was sexy.. LMAO)
But all in all. If you get the point of what all the bitching is about? Its ALL basically stupid stuff. I have just crossed 156 hours and literally.. DRIVE THIS THING like a D8 dozer running lead while on fire during a demolition derby. I seriously doubt ANYONE selecting this model will ever come close to what I put mine through. I am beyond impressed with it. I LOVE it and I will absolutely buy another one when I snap this ones frame in half. Period.
Great videos BTW. :-)
laughing all the way threw the first paragraph and then there was more, hands down the best comment .... every thing has its things we would like to be better, it would be nice if we could open up a book and order stuff like you can for car or truck, so far its been a great machine and is getting every thing done I need it to and more, and in a few years I have plans to get a cab model.
I would MacGyver something for the drink holder. I mean spilling beer or loosing one on the fly while on my tractor is unacceptable.
I left out the size of the brass elbow you need to buy to address your exhaust problem. A one inch elbow will fit into the end of your existing exhaust pipe tightly.
I love my Kubota!!! You'll hear no complaints from me.
I think the big issue is fuel tank location. Not good. Thanks
Tooooo funny. . . . i have 139 hours and have the same reasons I 'hate' my kubota B2650!!!! Well done
Wish I had one.
Does the tractor function well? Engine, Transmission, just asking? cup holder??????
Macdoctor it works great I have some other videos up of it doing different things the only actual thing I can gripe about is the fuel gauge
I have a new Holland and I have the same problem with the drink holder, you would think they would have set a beer in one and seen it was going to be too big😁
Enjoyed the video, I don’t think it’s possible to build any complex machine that’s not going to disagree with someone at some point, that said, I’m a Kubota guy myself. I have a L4701 and my biggest complaint is fueling because he fuel cap is nearly enter of the hood and impossible to reach from the ground unless your tall enough to play in the NBA, but with a little ingenuity, I now throw a furniture blanket over the hood and bought a 5 gallon diesel can that’s plastic, turns on its side and sets on the hood while I no longer have to hold it up. Just aim the spout and push the spring loaded valve to fuel. Now it’s easy smeasy. Good luck!
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the fueling up tip I’ve had the kubota over 2 years now and I’m still happy with it. 😁
Tool box behind seat to small. Other than that love my L3301
funny stuff!
I don't care about the paint being worn off the floor, but you do have a point about the looseness of the step.
I have a 2230 and a 3150 and both a great machines except Kubota keep changing the controls so a lever on one does a different function on the other and worst of all they moved the foot brake so on one the pedal is on the left and on the other it is on the right 🇬🇧😄
Liked your video great piss take 😄😄😄
Michael
I would not elbow the exhaust down because that increases the (very small) risk of fire.
If you extend the exhaust, adapt to a larger diameter and go up above the hood then do a U turn to keep rain out
The exhaust looks long enough to bend enough to bend it downward more. In the edge of your deck where you step I would put some nut driven self tapping screws along that edge to keep drone slipping and wear. Mount LED lights on the rops for better lighting. Also get a 25 gallon rolling fuel caddy to fuel. Like the videos. I have a b7500. Same small fixable things
RAUL HOGLAND I’ve been looking at the fuel caddy and the bolts are a good idea to help making that area less slippery but all in all a great machine..
1. See if they will replace fuel sensor under warranty?
2. Elbow
3. Textured grip tape helps a ton
It's been my experience with motorcycle fuel gauges that it's more of a suggestion rather than an accuracy. To compensate, I note mileage to refuel as it's pretty consistent. Miss the fuel petcock that had reserve switch, fuel injection eliminated that. But seriously, never had a tractor, no need a tractor, not sure how I got here but had fun watching. Thumbs up to you!
thanks for the view, I've had cars with fuel gauges that didn't work and did mileage but a tractor goes by hours and you don't want to run a diesel out of fuel some really suck to get primed back up. and yes the reserve was a great feature.
The flex in the step has bothered me when looking at the B series Kubotas. The loader capacities were the killer, though. Need more oomph in the loader in my next tractor if I can ever afford one. The location of the fuel fill is the same on my NH TC26DA and it does get annoying. PHD is always a pain to get on the 3 point. I have the same PHD.
I have almost 500 hours on mine in 3 years. It gets the job done for the most part. I agree with everything you have said, but the little SOB punches above her weight class in my opinion. I maintain about 20+ acres of pasture with it. Wish I would have bought something a little bit bigger for some tasks, but she sips fuel and works all day long.
I'm almost at the 400hr mark and just over 2 years, I only have 5 acres to play with we always want bigger some times but this tractor can accomplish some amazing things for its size. thanks for watching and happy tractor'ing
You pointed out when you step on the step the floor panel moves.. Be thankful it's not plastic. :)
Richard Mason it would be really scary if it was
Ah, the cup holder. We have a 8560...cup holder will hold a soda bottle pretty well. We have a new M6...cup holder, ...absolutely worthless for cups or cans.....maybe loose change would stay put.
I have a BX2680...largest problem is I keep finding excuses to use it LOL. Its basically my very expensive fancy wheelbarrow now HAHA!!!
exactly, its hard to be leave life before owning a kubota..
Gives me an idea for universal drink tie downs
I’ve seen a couple people make some in posts on Facebook they put on their tractors. A 2650 and a bx
i looked at all the colors. i ended up getting a 2017 yanmar sa324 w backhoe(only due to price 10k it has 257 hours)i think the kioti is the best bang 4 the buck
Rikki lee as long as it gets the job done ✅
Should have put this out on April 1st...
TexasBob I’ll make another one for next year 😁
Soot and wore paint??? Do you take it to a car show or something?
I have the same tractor. Yes fuel is a pain to fill I spill some on the hood every time.
I'm getting better at fueling it now I only spill it on the hood down the side on the hst peddle oh and myself. I can deal with it does so much for me its hard to complain. It's the perfect love/ enjoy relationship.
Actually thinking about a Kabota myself. Just grew up with case yellow red and white. Just can't seem to go Green.
BS Checker I’ve had it just over a year now, It hasn’t let me down and I keep finding more uses for it.
Pretty Funny! :D :D
Utah Bob thanks that’s what I was trying for
My God Man Soot! Unbelieveable.....
dirt, soot, and grease oh my... thanks for watching...
The thing I don't like about Kabota is the cheap seats that hurt my back because they bottom out and hit hard on every bump!
Did you tighten the seat spring so it doesn't bottom out? I had to loosen mine (150lbs) and only bottoms out on the worst of bumps. But, its adjustable, so if its bottoming out you need to adjust it I bet.
My #1 complaint: flipping the GD seat around to use the backhoe. What a pain in the tookus. My dad’s L39 seat just spun in place, but noooo, this one has to lift and pivot at the same time. God forbid you have the seat slid all the way forward because it’s virtually impossible to spin that way - it gets stuck about half way around and bashes the hell out of the plastic trim over the right panel and the right fender.
Well I wouldn’t know if you check out some of my other videos I just got the backhoe attachment but i opted for the cab sub frame it works great
Dead about a kioti when my kubota dealer was not willing to fix it under warranty. I fixed it myself and traded it off to my kioti dealer and have had it 2 years 600 hrs and no problems at all . Talk to an old man yesterday and he told me what the problem with kubota's was. He said that Kubota was the world's best company at putting new sheet metal found an old tractor and convincing people it was a new model with the old problem solved. Kubota is a good tractor no doubt about it they are a very good little machine the problem I had with mine is rare but I will tell you this my kioti was 4k cheaper than was the same kubota. And it seems to be a little bit higher quality machine than the kubota was little things like 2 peddled hydrostatic and more comfortable seat just little things.
It’s tough to know how all machines will hold up,yea there’s reviews lots bad and little good on all, I just picked what was I thought was the best after 3+ years and 400hrs now no major issues. I try to make videos on the tractor and up load them with updates and working the tractor I have more plans for it this summer, guess we will see how it does thanks for watching and the information.
Correction on my solution for the exhaust soot getting on the loader arms. The 45 degree one inch elbow I mentioned is copper not brass.
The step issue seems like a bad design but it’s actually rubber mounted. Look underneath the platform.
I'll have to look again I didn't notice.
Yea. Took me a while to realize. Had mine for about 3 years now and just realized about 2 months ago. I just thought it was junk lol.
good one but you foregot the pins in the loader that is number 1 fore me co I drilled a hole in them and put a pin in the other side
yea its a little tight to get the grease fitting.
That's why I didn't buy a Kubota! 🤣
Roll over bar can be the most annoying for me. It hit a tree branch and the birds got mad at me while I was brush hogging.
engines&outdoors yes but what we complain about could save us one day
Amen there’s been a few times when I’ve almost rolled or got close to it.
I have the same problem with my reverse pedal Brand new tractor. 8 hrs on it I returned to dealer, they couldn’t come up with a fix.
I have a b2650 things been a beast for me
I love this thing a day not on the tractor is not a normal day
My biggest problem was the orange paint so I painted it green now it’s fine.
Flying Bob only way to get a metal hood lol
Oh no! My tractor got dirt and grease on it! How many purses do you own?
just 1 but i have a collection of fanny packs, thanks for watching...
Matt's need for speed excellent reply
What’s the price on a tractor like this one?
Gamingforfun 007 cost Varies by dealer and location this tractor I think is 14 to 17,000 before you start adding a loader and attachments prices go up significantly you can check out their website also
Their expensive
Take the floor pan off , ditch the rubber mat, and truck bed liner the floor pan.
I couldn't raise the hood on one
4th reason i hate my Kubota is, they dont sell a hair cutting attachment so i have to where a hat and 5th reason nowhere to put my skateboard.
B B ha when I was young I couldn’t stay on a skateboard to save my life 😎
You know what I hate? Dirt gets on my tractor!
MrEye4get I don’t mind the dirt it’s the mud that’s the problem
wow
My complaints:
- My hour meter only says 120... it's gonna take FOREVER to get the high score
- They put some kind of juice in my tires. I think the dealer's compressor is broken
- I got pallet forks but I have to repaint them every time I use them. WTF
- My wife won't drive it
- Didn't come with autopilot
Doug Mapper That’s exactly what I’m talking about
The only thing I hate about it is that I can’t afford one lol. Maybe one day🙏
all i can say is, I wouldn't be able to afford one new now at current prices plus the wait time to get one now is so long you might need to put your next of kin on the paper work...
I have a B 2601 and none of them problems wanna trade ?
Dale HURSEY ha .... sure lol
You sound like a condo kind of guy
Those cupholders are made for 12 ounce cans of BEER, only running in low range....LOL
When I was 15 years old I worked on a farm and they had a few kubota tractors and I had never heard of kubota and thought it was a throw away tractor and become a fan of them as I used them and now I would take one new kubota over two new John Deere’s any day and I worked for a John Deere dealership for over 22 years
Guy Ward I did a lot of research before getting mine and I’d like to get another one..
These are all legit things I would not like as well.
I guess one GOOD thing you should like about your B2650 - it's not a B3350.
Rob J you are definitely on point there the 3350 was a nightmare for any one in the northern climate 2 1/2 years now this thing never let me down and still surprises me with what it can do.
Goodness sake. I don't have any problem with my Pullbota. It's a two horse power and the only problem I encountered was when they gas.
My biggest complaint about my B3350 is the hydro whine. Drives me nuts. My L5740 is quiet. Kubota needs to address this.
Bruce Branson mine doesn’t make any noise like that even when cold
the comments are some of the funniest I have read LOL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, some of you are kinda touchy bout your Orange
I've heard the front loader only lifts 900lbs, which isn't a full bucket of dirt.
check this out i think it does pretty good for lifting czcams.com/video/4h-ok89NhsM/video.html
Jack the tractor up a few feet off the ground when you get ready to refuel it
when your trying to be a smart ass and john try's to 1 up you, thanks for watching
It's a Kubota what'd you expect !
At least it's not a plastic tractor. :)
I like Wheel Horse, too
Dave F I have 2 small ones
Paul and Kathy Short have five mods for that tractor that will help you out. check out their you tube channel.
LOL, nice video, however, I think the cup holder should have been number one, there is NOTHING worse then a cold beer bouncing out of a cup holder, might be one of the things John Deere has over Kubota, a deep cup holder
You had an KD and got this. EAT YOUR CAKE NOW
Jason Stage I like cake
just be glad its not a deere, you have plastic floor and fenders.
happy with my metal hood fenders and floor thanks for watching
yeah forgot about the hood, also the pedal (gas/brake) arms are made of strong plastic.
BuildFunction and it’s green ha ha..
i dont like that the tires are black. Why not white tires. I just hate that
I love all the butthurt comments XD they probably didn't watch it all the way through. Even stated as a joke video.
Devin Shay yup I’m sure they didn’t watch..
Well for damn sure cup holder will throw your beer out of it! And that's pure Damn alcohol abuse! Of course mine is a larger tractor it's about a 40 horse and I've gotten kind of crippled up and I have to have my brother to put gas in it or I'm sorry diesel fuel. And another thing they're four-wheel drive tractors but it's like a four wheel drive truck that doesn't have differential Lockers in it when you get in a bind one front wheel spins and one back wheel spins. And when you try to do the differential lock on the rear end I can't stomp mine down to make it engage. Oh well it gets me by, at least it's power steering and does have Springs under the seat unlike my International 424.
Darn cup holder needs to be on springs..
I hate you forgot to get the climate control cab with stereo. A carelessly missed option that was over-looked during a purchase made in haste.
Like buying a new pick-up. Then *SHIT!* I forgot to get 4 wheel drive. I knew I was missing something.
rayism 24b I was just looking into trading it in on one with a cab, right now I’m waiting on a quote gonna need that ac here real soon.
@@Mattsneedforspeed Of course you are, but it's too late. They quit making B2650 cab tractor. That hair extension pony tail will get rapped around the PTO. There they'll find you. and have to clean up the mess.
🤔
Winey guy alert! Will stop there...
Dude,, chill out... I have owned a few tractors that didn't even have a beer holder.. complain about the tilt steering..... I wish they didn't put the fuel on top of the tractor.
This was all in fun, I'm basically stating its a great tractor not really complaining and not a beer drinker either.
JUST PLANE WHINE BABY TO DAMM PICK
Would be better if green
